[gleach23] 06/2/2013 11:46

Picked up some more earlier...partly because only 15k was available online to buy at the time. Happy to see that my 15k purchase has since been nicely dwarfed by one of 500k ;)

[412069] 06/2/2013 11:44

Good find, shows what a bit of proper digging can do. I can't see it atm as my pdf reader is having a bad day - will have a look later.

I guess some of the overseas gov. depts. may have similar, if they've got an obligation to disclose.

[412069] 05/2/2013 15:22

This is an old contract the have with them from 2010 below.

Yump

Yump..

Looking through the 2011 accoounts from The Ordnance Survey below you can see it spent a good sum, did you mention Tadpole (or the like)got sacked by these back in 2011! i cant remember if you did or not, but looking at the last line below could that be what they were brought in to complete!

Balance sheet

Investment expenditure
Our total expenditure on investment activities in the year
was £35.0m (2009–10: £46.6m). The total programme is
made up of £26.3m capital additions and £8.7m charged to
the Income Statement.
During the year a seamless GDMS with a total cost of
£52.0m including software development, was completed.
The resulting asset is being amortised over 10 years.
Other capital expenditure included ongoing refresh and
development of underpinning IT infrastructure, delivery
systems (including web portals to enable business
customers to access and update their data holdings) and
product developments. A proportion of these investments
are assets in the course of construction at 31 March 2011.

There's certainly a lot of money looking for a home with all these projects and no doubt there will be a lot of jumping on bandwagons by consultancies inventing big data departments, despite a shortage of people that can actually do the job (since when did that matter, as long as you talk the talk !).

Fortunately for SPA, there is an inevitable requirement for geospatial data management within a large proportion of big data projects. Even those of purely commercial organisations.

I think that means that specialists like SPA will fill a key role that can't be sourced from elsewhere.

Looks like the share price might be stabilising around this level.

[412069] 04/2/2013 16:02

Afternoon all, i wonder if SPA have someone attending below!


February 25 - 27, 2013 - Holiday Inn, Alexandria, Virginia


BIG DATA : NO LONGER HYPE, BUT A TANGIBLE, IMPACTING REALITY

With close to 90% of Fortune 500 companies investing in Big Data projects, the commercial market has already witnessed the benefits of investing in large-scale data processing. The U.S. Government has realized the potential in Big Data and launched the long-term 2012 Big Data Initiative, investing $250 million a year in Big Data among its federal agencies, in addition to similar efforts within the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Energy, the Intelligence Community, NASA and more.

The Big Data for Defense and Government 2013 addresses the latest government challenges, strategies and initiatives relating to Big Data Analytics, as well as the state of science in Big Data employments and technologies. Hear from those closest to these developments to learn what's actually happening on the ground.

We are also very excited to host a Data Visualization Focus Day! Engage with leading DHS, DoD and DOE scientists who are at the forefront of data visualization advancements in the context of defense and government. Find the solutions you need to transform large data sets into visual, actionable intelligence.

With so many new Big Data developments just this past year from various U.S. defense and government agencies, now is the time to understand the trends, their subsequent effects and what the future holds.

Morning, lets see if my hunch on passed contract news coming in the first week of the month holds up and next week we get another!

[412069] 30/1/2013 19:50

Thanks for the post. X

Marcus seemed confident, and provided a entertaining presentation.. Some were dreary. He highlighted what the company does and how they plan to move forward! I have done some database work and understand unique keys... 1spatial uses geo tagging down to the millimetre... (Amazing)To produce unique keys in database design.. Something like that any way I was sold on that fact and on the work with mapping they do. Maps are needed, and I don't think military and police use google maps :-) Some points I highlighted... 80% of information has a geo tag.17 of 35 world mapping agencies use them.Largest single client RAFThey have cash in the bank!Targeted growthTargeting the next census!RT

[412069] 30/1/2013 13:55

xroughtraderx... when you say half sold' was it worth the visit! and how did Marcus come accross to you.

[xrougetraderx] 30/1/2013 13:05

I saw the presentation yesterday and was half sold... On this seems quite unique..

[412069] 29/1/2013 14:34

Our chap Marcus is doing his talk at three, would of been interesting going to this forum.
Saying that it was sold out.

[yump] 29/1/2013 10:54

Crikey, I'm in the wrong job !

I'd assume from that, that SPA will charge 'appropriately', for their services and that there should be very healthy margins in the business, especially as some of the work is pretty critical.

[412069] 29/1/2013 10:46

Yump look at the % wage increase for big data qualified persons.

[412069] 29/1/2013 09:56

Yump, i did see somehwere SPA also had a deal/trial with the British army with some thing similar.
Would of been interesting to have gone to the forum today.

[yump] 29/1/2013 09:44

On the SPA website they mention the Brazilian Army as a client. Here's a link to some info about their geospatial data problems and the need to integrate:
